"Innate full soul power, innate full soul power!" Ye Feng wept with joy, tears streaming down his aged face on the spot.
All one could say was that Ye Qing really had sent this century-old geezer's emotions on a roller coaster.
When he was first born, he had given Ye Feng the joy of holding a grandson. Not long afterward, he had made him suffer the fear that his family line might end. After transmigrating, he had let him see hope for his grandson's recovery, and now that he had awakened his martial soul, he had shown him the first light of the Ye Family's rise.
This really had been one reversal after another after another.
"My grandson Ye Qing has the makings of a Title Douluo... no, a Super Douluo!"
Ye Feng had originally wanted to proudly declare that Ye Qing had the makings of a Limit Douluo, but another Limit Douluo, Mu En, was watching right beside him. However pleased Ye Feng was, he dared not say that to Mu En's face.
So he settled for being just a little "modest."
Yes, a Super Douluo! My grandson Ye Qing has the makings of a Super Douluo!
Ye Qing's face darkened.
Ye Feng's words really had brought back some unpleasant memories.
Who the hell are you trying to curse here? Ye Qing badly wanted to snap back at Ye Feng, but after choking on the words for a long while, he still failed to get them out.
"Congratulations, Ye Qing." Bei Bei stepped forward to congratulate him, a happy smile on his face.
Children's thoughts were pure. Seeing an old playmate awaken a powerful martial soul would only make them happy for their friend. Besides, Bei Bei himself had awakened the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Martial Soul with innate full soul power. He did not think Ye Qing's martial soul was much stronger than his, so naturally, he felt no jealousy.
However, Bei Bei did not yet know that even martial souls with innate full soul power could differ in talent and strength.
"Thank you," Ye Qing replied with a smile.
"Now that you've awakened your martial soul too, we can cultivate together!" Bei Bei was very excited. Although he had gradually spent less time with Ye Qing over the past six months, he had still been very happy during those few days they had spent together.
Yes, he had only been happy for those few days.
Constantly fishing had made it a little hard for him to sit still. With "Sister Lexuan" around as well, Bei Bei had naturally turned his attention elsewhere.
Zhang Lexuan, on the other hand, would occasionally come by while looking after Bei Bei to check whether Ye Qing was doing anything dangerous. She had not forgotten that Mu En had told her to "take good care of them."
But every time she saw Ye Qing sitting alone by the lake, fishing while reading a book, and confirmed that he was in no danger, she would leave him undisturbed. After silently watching for a while, she would quietly leave.
She had never let Ye Qing notice her.
As time passed, Zhang Lexuan stopped coming over too. In the end, the flutter stirred by being called "sister" once could not compare with years of companionship.
To be honest, Mu En had seen everything that happened between the three of them, but he did not know what to say. After all, these were the children's own choices. Even he had rarely gone fishing with Ye Qing after bringing Zhang Lexuan back.
Still, he had never missed sending Ye Qing Golden Tree tea leaves at regular intervals.
Seeing Ye Qing awaken the Radiant Sacred Tiger martial soul now, Mu En was rather glad he had done so. Perhaps it was precisely those tea leaves he had sent that had allowed Ye Qing's martial soul to mutate into something so powerful.
He might become a pillar holding up Shrek's sky in the future. That was Mu En's assessment of Ye Qing, which meant that, in his eyes, even Ye Qing's lowest possible future achievement would be no worse than Xuan Zi's.
Level 98.
That was Mu En's lowest estimate for Ye Qing.
As long as Ye Qing developed steadily and did not take any wrong turns along the way, he would surely become a powerhouse.
In that case...
Should I take him as my disciple? The thought suddenly surfaced in Mu En's mind.
His own martial soul was the Radiant Sacred Dragon, and he had taken Yan Shaozhe, who possessed the Bright Phoenix martial soul, as his disciple. If he now took Ye Qing, who possessed the Radiant Sacred Tiger, as another disciple, he would have the complete set of dragon, phoenix, and tiger!
And all of them were light-attribute martial souls.
Since the thought had occurred to him, Mu En simply voiced it. After all, he was the Sea God Pavilion Master, the highest authority in Shrek. He could do whatever he wanted without any reservations.
"Little Ye, would you like to become my disciple?" Mu En asked Ye Qing with a faint smile.
"?"
Ye Qing tilted his head, a question mark popping up above it.
All right, all right. Your great-great-grandson calls me big brother, I call you teacher, and then I call your great-great-grandson my great-grandson? We each count the generations our own way?
Then wouldn't Bei Bei have to respectfully call me Great-Great-Grandpa whenever he saw me?
Tsk, that actually sounds pretty good?
Of course, this was only a passing thought. There was absolutely no way he would say it aloud.
As for feeling averse to the idea, he did not. Their years together had left Ye Qing with a very good impression of old Mu En. He was good-natured, generous, and dropped gold coins, and his portrayal in the original story had also been that of a far-sighted elder.
If he could really become Mu En's disciple, that would be a good choice. As the Sea God Pavilion Master, Mu En could definitely provide him with the highest-quality cultivation resources during his early stages.
Hmm, maybe after Mu En kicks the bucket, I could even inherit his position as Sea God Pavilion Master, sit in the Sea God Pavilion's seat of honor, and boss old geezer Ye Feng around.

However, Ye Qing did not make the decision himself. He simply reacted in the way most appropriate for a child his age: he looked toward Ye Feng with a helpless, questioning gaze.
Ye Feng definitely would not refuse anyway.
Sure enough, the old man froze on the spot, staring at Mu En in utter shock, while Mu En merely smiled and nodded to show that he was not joking.
And then...
Ye Feng grew even more excited.
Holy crap, a double blessing! Not only has my grandson awakened such an awesome martial soul, but Mu En has also taken a liking to him and wants him as a disciple! Calling this ascending to heaven in a single step wouldn't be an exaggeration!
How many Limit Douluos are there on the Douluo Continent?
Even counting them on one hand would leave fingers to spare.
Mu En isn't just a Limit Douluo, he's also Shrek's highest authority. If my grandson really becomes his disciple, calling that backing solid bedrock would be perfectly fair!
Looking at me? Why are you still looking at me? Hurry up and agree!
Faced with Ye Qing's questioning gaze, Ye Feng kept shooting him meaningful looks, exasperated at his failure to seize the opportunity.
Agree, hurry up and agree!
What a loving grandfather and filial grandson they were...
The corner of Ye Qing's mouth twitched almost imperceptibly. He could have guessed exactly how old geezer Ye Feng would react. In the eyes of these Shrek people, anything that tied them more closely to Shrek was unquestionably a good thing.
On the Douluo Continent, Shrek people held the status of Celestial Dragons. With Shrek's label attached to them, they stood above everyone else wherever they went.
All the more so if, alongside that Shrek label, they also bore the label of being a disciple of the Sea God Pavilion Master, a Limit Douluo.
Ye Qing obediently performed the formal bow to acknowledge his teacher.
